Betcha one of the many local dock builders would come up with something for you. These days you should be able to turn on the heat in the cabin with your smartphone on the way to the lake!

Site looks very smooth, it's relatively speedy. All in all, a good job. I'd have the web designer fix these issues if possible http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.woolybuggerflyco.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 might speed it up a touch. Also, I'd put a little more target research into the html <title> </title> of each file. Add a few keyword phrases and some location information. Also be more descriptive in the <a href="url" title="on hover text" and the <img src="pic" alt="image description here" tags. That way you'll get more leads from search engines. These guys are doing your keyword research for you...

Hey nut, how's it going? I've hit a few nice LMB's in shallow water... 3ft, 2 ft. But always right next to a hole. Any time of day, under some overhang, White rooster-tail or dark rubber worms. I just moved here recently and this is my first fall here. All the locals say it's not on, but from my point of view... it's on. I work at a resort that has a lot of traffic from fishermen, I'll post in this topic when I hear the locals tell me they're killin it.

LOL. Water is down quite a bit more since my last post. Fishing is still better on the low mile marker side of Sunrise Beach. The water over there is beautiful and blue. The water over by mm 38 is still murky. The shad are THICK, either side.

Hey Becky, Nice Bass! Where'd you catch that one? I fish on Lake of the Ozarks, moved here recently from Boston. What did you teach?

At least a foot gone... I've been fishing mm10 and mm38 every day this week, the week before... etc, etc. Water is very clear in the coves by mm10, lots of bait-balls. I've been catching bass with light or white rooster-tails either right along the shoreline by a drop off or running it under a bait ball as they pass(that's fun). Coves by mm38 are nowhere near as clear but definitely clearing up too. Not catching much over there and I've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at them. It seems someone already threw in the kitchen sink...

Yep, bass have been back on for a couple weeks now... caught one that was so big that at first I'd thought I snagged a log, 4 feet of water.

Around mm 38, tons of submerged brush. Boat traffic was pretty heavy this last weekend.

The recent code says if the jug is anchored it can be left for 24 hours, un-anchored jugs have to be checked hourly. It also says your conservation number should be on the jug. Good luck on the cats! They're biting. I hear hot dogs and chicken gizzards are working. If you're grilling chicken, try some of the fat.

Not a ton of boat traffic, no crappie around my docks... the water is bath warm.

I'm from New England too and I had a cute little tackle box with little tiny spinner-bait a couple months ago, when I got here. Caught a bunch of itsy bitsy bass and trout up there too. If someone told me use a rubber worm on a hook that looked like it could support a side of beef, while fishing in Vermont... I would have LMAO. Now my tiny(though somewhat bigger) tackle box has a bunch of rubber worms, crayfish, squid-looking type things, caterpillar and leeches. Accompanied by great big hooks. I'm not experienced on any rivers here but that box works very well on LOTO.

MMH is a fuel propellant, which is why cooking or heating releases the toxins. Which is also why proper ventilation is recommended. There is no reason to eat them as there are hundreds of other types of mushrooms not containing toxins. Only a novice would mistake Morchella for Gyromitra and if one decides to eat a mushroom without positive identification... that's evolution baby. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomethylhydrazine Don't be a novice, read Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora and/or join some local fungal club.

"E. coli is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms)"- Wiki Link to the role of animals in E. Coli: http://www.vetmed.wisc.edu/pbs/zoonoses/O157DT104/O157DT104index.html Deer, Pigs, Dogs, Horses... I'm not defending the obviously antiquated septic systems along the lake but, all I know is I see a dozen deer on any given morning as I drive the dirt road out of my cove. Besides weekends, that's 2 deer for every one person residing. I only see the deer on the road, I probably pass 50 others. Ever taken the side roads off 5? There are hundreds of pigs, cows and horses and most everyone has at least 1 dog. Do you pick up your dog poop every time he runs off in the grass down by the lake? Hmmmm? I cant find out much about E coli in fish poop but one study by the U of Houston showed none to close to zero E coli in Fish poop. Regardless, where do you think those 4-6 lb bass poop? Yes, there is poop in LOTO... I'm going swimming now.
